 #  Children of People with Parkinson’s Community Network 

 

   

  ## 💡 Quick Summary 

 - Connect with a supportive community for children and grandchildren of [people with Parkinson’s disease](/living-with-parkinsons "Living with Parkinson's"), sharing experiences and gaining understanding from peers who relate.
- Amplify the voices of family members by participating in virtual calls, supporting network priorities and helping raise awareness about the impact of Parkinson’s on families.
- Join a network that lets you connect, support other children and grandchildren of people with Parkinson’s and make a meaningful difference in the PD community.

 

   ![Four family members posing at a PF event](/sites/default/files/styles/no_sizing/public/images/community-networks_children.jpg?itok=zQ9r0pIE)  Parkinson's disease impacts the whole family, and the journey of a child or grandchild is unique. This network is a dedicated space for the daughters, sons, and grandchildren of people living with or who lived with PD to connect with others who truly understand, share their story, and turn their experience into positive action.

### Network Mission

The Children of People with Parkinson’s Community Network amplifies the voice of family members within the Parkinson's community. The network provides a supportive outlet to share experiences and empower members to raise awareness, extend our reach, and ensure that the perspectives of children and grandchildren are heard.

If you are the child or grandchild of a person living with or who lived with Parkinson's, we invite you to join this community network committed to supporting one another while making a difference.
